Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.

Physician Assistants

Miss Jill Malbon (f)

My name is Jill and I am a Physician Associate (PA). If you require an appointment at the surgery you may be offered an appointment with me rather than one of the GPs.

PAs are a relatively new member of the clinical team, seen as complementary to GPs, rather than a substitute, taking on certain areas of workload and helping to free GPs to focus on the more complex patient cases.

PAshave a generalist medical education and work alongside doctors providing medical care in both GP surgeries and hospitals. We can work autonomously, but always under the supervision of a fully trained and experienced doctor.

Currently, PAs are not able to prescribe, order X-rays or CT scans but this can be done under a supervising doctor.

More information can be found on the Faculty of Physician Associates website.

Community Midwives

Our midwife deals with all matters relating to pregnancy, delivery and post-natal care. She visits the surgery once a week. Most confinements are arranged on a 'shared care' basis involving a choice, which may include your GP, the Midwife and the Hospital Obstetrician. Appointments can be made by the receptionists.

For 24 hour advice please phone 0114 2268091.

Expectant or post natal mums can contact her at the Community Office on 0114 2268301 based at the Jessop Wing.

Community Nurses

All of our patients are now cared for by the Sheffield District Nursing Team which is based at our surgery. They provide care for the housebound, elderly and patients who have been recently discharged from hospital. They can be contacted by telephone on: 0114 226 4100 (24 hour service).
